Heavy flooding effects on home range and habitat selection
The Iberian hare Lepus granatensis is a common and abundant species throughout the Iberian Peninsula; however, studies documenting its ecology are scarce. Between August 1996 and September 1997, after a long drought, we studied the effects of a widespread flood on the Iberian hare ecology in ecotone pastures of Doñana National Park. Hares were captured using vertical nets through part of 1996 a...
متن کاملHome Range, Habitat Use, and Activity Patterns of Free-Roaming Domestic Cats
We used radio-telemetry and collar-mounted activity sensors to compare home range size, habitat use, and activity patterns of owned and unowned free-roaming cats on the outskirts of ChampaignUrbana, Illinois, USA. Owned cats (3 M, 8 F) had smaller home ranges than unowned cats (6 M, 10 F), but we failed to detect consistent differences in home range size between the sexes or among seasons. Home...
متن کاملMovement Patterns and Home Range Use of the Northern Watersnake
The factors that influence spatial use and movement patterns in ectotherms may have important fitness consequences. To examine the effects of sex and condition on spatial use, we used radio telemetry to observe the movement of 18 adult Nerodia sipedon in a southwest Missouri lake. Snakes generally remained in close proximity (,5 m) to aquatic habitats throughout the summer. Home range size esti...
متن کاملHome-range use patterns and movements of the Siberian flying squirrel in urban forests: Effects of habitat composition and connectivity.
BACKGROUND Urbanization causes modification, fragmentation and loss of native habitats. Such landscape changes threaten many arboreal and gliding mammals by limiting their movements through treeless parts of a landscape and by making the landscape surrounding suitable habitat patches more inhospitable. Here, we investigate the effects of landscape structure and habitat availability on the home-...
متن کاملHabitat Selection: Demography and Individual Decisions
Arlt, D. 2007. Habitat selection: Demography and Individual Decisions. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7316-9 Habitat selection is the behavioural process determining the distribution of individuals among habitats varying in quality, thus affecting individual fitness and population growth. Models of population dynamics often assume that individuals have perfect knowledge ...
